Matias Koski
Matias Koski is a Finnish Olympian who swam in the 2012 London Olympics in the men's 200m, 400m and 1500m freestyle. Koski is currently a junior at the University of Georgia where he's studying Exercise and Sport Science. Born May 18, 1994 to Matti and Sanna Kioski, he represents Finland internationally, but his hometown is Duluth, Ga. Koski didn't have to move far from home to attend Georgia, but the change in training certainly paid off. He says that his big time improvements are due to race strategy and he also explains that he has an accomplished distance group to train with. He's Georgia's school record holder in the 200 freestyle, and during his high school years he broke Georgia state records in the 100, 200, 500 as well as the 400 freestyle relay. Koski graduated from Northview High School where he swam for Dynamo Swim Club under Coach Rich Murphy. Although he's a Finnish national champion, Koski is also a U.S. National Junior Champion. The Olympian is 6'5" and was one of the top recruits in the class of 2012. Koski is a rare talent - he can swim anything from the 50 freestyle to the mile.
